LV2Go driver thread v1.6.0

[Raphie]

Worthy successor of the 156.66 driver on my XPS-M1330, everything works incl. sleep/hibernation with the NVdispd.inf

[Fr0styRyan]

So what can we do to make the SLI work with this driver? Any way to disable this "lock"?

[StaFForD]

did you take the inf out of the inf file, cause there are two of them and in a seperate file in the driver folder, also make sure you have the right inf for you in the folder

[Nuggstein]

Are these overclockable?

Right now I'm running modded 163.69 desktop drivers for my 8600M GT. Am I better off installing the real mobile 156.73 drivers?

[pro101]

I have the 156.66 installed and when trying to upgrade to this one, it says "there is no driver that is compatible with your hardware" and it exits the install. Same for the 167.x series. Why? I have the Nvidia 570M which is explicitly called out as a supported card in this list. Any workaround?

[Keith]

This driver installed very smoothly (once I'd moved the .infs from the .zip to the install directory, Pro101), and works fine. No issues with resume from sleep (unlike 156.57) and nets me the same rating score on vista... except....

If I put the computer under iTunes load (25 gig iTunes library) while I do the assessment, I drop down .2, whereas previous drivers didn't mind the extra load at all. I predict these aren't going to like games as much as some previous versions, and I'm thinking of trying the 167.27 drivers as mentioned below, and reporting back on the difference in assessment there.

Still, a good fall back if all else goes wrong, due to not even needing a different .inf, and driver certification.

Call of duty 4 demo : 4 crashs in 15 minutes
Moh airborn : 2 crash , game very slow

Only Day of Defeat worked well.

[rolloLG]

Work VERY well on my Compaq/HP Presario F500EA with GeForce GO 6100!
Now I can even change video settings for movies playback (gamma, colors etc.) without altering the whole screen settings. Very good!

[kelmo]

Drivers work relatively well, however, I encounter a few bugs when running 720p @ 60 Hz hooked up to my 42" plasma via DVI. In Dual monitor view, image will only show on my laptop. When DVI only is selected, the image will show on my plasma but the screen will reset itself in irregular intervals. I.e. after 30 seconds, the screen will go blank for a fraction of a second and then reappear. I think that is must be a small tweak or setting, does anyone have a suggestions to point me in the right direction?

PC: Toshiba P105-S9339
Graphics: Geforce Go 7900 GS
Plasma: Philips 42PF9954

Thanks and regards,
